I was in Washington on Sunday. Congressional Cemetery was having a winter fair, and as I hadn’t been to Congressional Cemetery to visit my family there this year, this seemed like the right time to go.
I love Washington. My mom said many years ago that I should live there… and I should! I just need a job there first…
(I was turned down for one Saturday evening, ironically as I was listening to “Hot Jazz Saturday Night” on Washington’s WAMU, the public radio station. Not really what I wanted on a Saturday night, but sometimes, that’s just when the email gets sent.)
Washington is my kind of place. For example…
A Jeep! With a Star Trek Delta shield tire cover! This is more awesome than the time I saw the GNU LNX license plate parked on the street outside Diamond’s offices in Timonium.
There were signs in yards protesting the illegal military occupation of the city. And I did see National Guard troops patrolling the streets while I was there. I refrained, somehow, from shouting at them what Green Arrow shouted at the army in Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns, though I certainly thought it and wanted to…
There were signs on street lights as well.
DC is a city under occupation, and the regime is not loved there.
I’ll talk about what I did at Congressional Cemetery another time. For the moment, I had a really nice time.
